Climate risk management

Climate change is a macro risk that threatens our future and life on the planet.

Climate risk management

The planet is changing

We are facing new risks

As time goes by, we see how storms, floods, hurricanes, droughts, heatwaves, and fires occur with greater intensity and frequency. As individuals, we may not realize how quickly these phenomena intensify, but as a society, we have enough memory to remember that things were different a few years ago.

A widely researched phenomenon

Climate change is mainly caused by the increase of global temperature due to excessive emission of greenhouse gases (GHG), that comes from human activities. In many areas of the planet, it is a phenomenon that generates unprecedented climatic variations, which means a management and prevention challenge for future climatic events that may threaten the well-being of people and organizations.

Physical risks

Climate change causes extreme weather events and transforms the planet.

Climate change brings short-term effects that we are already experiencing, such as increased rainfall, droughts, and hailstorms, and long-term effects, such as sea-level rise, among others. All of this has consequences that impact human activities, for example, floods, or more diseases caused by mosquitoes, which exacerbates the risks we cover with our policies and affects the companies we invest in.

Transition risks

Fighting global warming implies an economic transition based on activities that emit low greenhouse gases (GHG).

Promoting a low GHG emissions economy will bring new challenges for productive activities. Companies will have to face technological changes, more regulatory requirements, reputational impacts, and greater market pressures. These changes will affect the performance of the insurance sector, our policyholders, and the companies we invest in.

Climate change implications for the insurance industry

The insurance industry is very vulnerable to climate, compared to other industries in the sector.

The role we play in climate change risk management is essential to guarantee the sustainability of the sector and the country; therefore, we have been actively promoting the development of mechanisms for climate change adaptation, by projects implementation and support to different initiatives. Likewise, we have identified our responsibility, needs for action, challenges, and costs we must budget for this topic.

Climate change strategy

Our challenge is to offer innovative products that allow building financial resilience when facing extreme climate events.

Insurance companies, as professional risk managers, are ensuring the proper integration of climate risk into catastrophic risk models, premium calculation, and policy supply. At the same time, they are promoting products that encourage the reduction of GHG emissions by clients and third parties, and support production initiatives based on renewable and cleaner energies.
